Resetting the panel
Pressing Reset places the panel in the reset state. The panel should not be reset until the appropriate authority has determined that the hazard is no longer present. When you reset the panel: All LEDs on the panel light for five seconds The trouble and power lights remain on for an additional 15 seconds When reset is complete, the buzzer sounds (then turns off) and the trouble LED turns off All panel indicators are temporarily cleared All notification appliances are turned off All latched IDCs are cleared Alarm, trouble, and supervisory relays are returned to the inactive state Auxiliary power (if programmed as resettable) momentarily turns off

1. 2. 3.

Press the Silence button on the FSRSI. Determine the type of condition that caused the buzzer to sound: alarm, trouble, supervisory, or monitor. Determine the cause of the condition.

Silencing notification appliances


Pressing the Signal Silence & Drill button turns off all audible devices. Visual devices or NAC circuits may or may not turn off, depending on panel programming. When you silence the signals, the Signal Silenced LED lights, indicating that the notification appliances are off. The panel does not indicate a trouble condition. If GENESIS, horn/strobe, or horn-only devices are used on NACs programmed for GENESIS operation, Signal Silence & Drill silences only the horns.
WARNING: The notification appliances should not be silenced

In this state:

until the building is fully evacuated and the cause of the alarm has been determined.
To silence notification appliances:

At the conclusion of the reset, if an IDC is in an off-normal state, the panel treats the event as a new event and activates the programmed responses. Pressing Disable for the active IDC within 30 seconds after the panel has reset turns off the NACs and disables the IDC. If one or more IDCs are disabled prior to initiation of the reset, those IDCs remain disabled. If signal silence inhibit or reset inhibit is enabled, system reset is inhibited during the silence or reset inhibit period.
To reset the panel:

1.

Press the Signal Silence & Drill button.

When the auto signal silence timer is programmed

When an event activates the notification appliances, the 20minute auto signal silence timer is activated. The notification appliances are activated for the 20-minute period. When the timer expires, any NACs that are programmed as silenceable are deactivated, and the Signal Silenced LED is illuminated. If another event takes place that activates the previously silenced notification appliances, the Signal Silenced LED turns off. At any time, you can deactivate silenceable NACs by pressing Signal Silence & Drill.
Note: NACs activated by IDCs programmed as waterflow

1.

Press the Reset button.

Silencing panel and FSRSI buzzers


Both the panel and the optional FSRSI module have buzzer silence buttons. Pressing the Panel Silence button silences the buzzer on the panel and on remote FSRSIs. Pressing the FSRSI Silence button silences the buzzer on the FSRSI only.
To silence the panel buzzer:

cannot be silenced until the activated devices are restored to normal. After the devices restore, the Signal Silence & Drill button or the auto signal silence timer can silence the NACs.

System overview and operation

Disabling an IDC
Pressing an IDC Disable button prevents the panel from responding to any status change from that IDC. When you disable an IDC: The common Disable LED double-flashes The IDC Trouble LED double-flashes The common Trouble LED lights and the panel goes into a trouble state The common trouble relay changes state

To re-enable an IDC or NAC:

1.

Press the Disable button for the IDC or NAC you want to re-enable.

Using the drill command


You can use the drill command to activate all of the notification appliance circuits. Pressing Drill activates all audibles and visuals according to the panel programming, but does not activate the Alarm relay. The FSDACT can be programmed to transmit a drill condition, but it will never report the drill as an alarm. Drill will not operate with an active alarm or supervisory event at the panel.
To perform a fire drill:

Resetting the panel has no effect on a disabled IDC, but removing all power from the panel clears the disable and enables the IDC.
Note: During an alarm condition, all flashing LEDs go steady. To disable an IDC:

1. 2.

Press and hold the Signal Silence & Drill button for one second. To stop the drill, press and hold the Signal Silence & Drill button for one second.

1.

Press the Disable button for the IDC that you want to disable.

Disabling a NAC
When you disable an NAC: The common Disable LED double-flashes The NAC Trouble LED double-flashes The common Trouble LED lights and the panel goes into a trouble state The common trouble relay changes state

Using the walk test command


A walk test lets you test IDC zones without having to create an actual alarm condition. You can conduct a walk test in silent or audible mode. In silent mode the audible devices (NACs) do not sound. Walk test will not operate with an active alarm or supervisory event at the panel. Zones should be placed in walk test one at a time. This allows the balance of the system to remain in service. In a walk test, the panel responds to the first signal it receives and ignores all others on that IDC until it clears that signal or the panel is reset. The input must be restored to the normal state before the next input is tested. When the input is restored, the panel automatically resets the circuit being tested. The automatic reset takes eight seconds. After the circuit is reset the next device can be tested. The panel terminates the walk test if any of the following occur: The panel enters an alarm or supervisory state There are 30 minutes of inactivity on the zone being tested The panel is reset Walk Test is pressed The Walk Test LED flashes for an audible walk test and is steady for a silent walk test The panel enters a trouble state. There is no fire protection for the IDC in walk test. If an unselected IDC goes into alarm or trouble, all programmed outputs operate as programmed.

Resetting the panel has no effect on a disabled NAC, but removing all power from the panel clears the disable and enables the NAC.
To disable a NAC:

1.

Press the Disable button for the NAC that you want to disable.

Re-enabling an IDC or NAC


You can re-enable a disabled IDC or NAC. When you reenable an IDC or NAC: The common Disable LED turns off The IDC or NAC trouble LED turns off The common Trouble LED turns off and the panel returns to normal The IDC or NAC LEDs are updated to show current status (e.g. if the IDC or NAC is in trouble, the Trouble LED lights). After enabling an IDC, alarms from that IDC are inhibited for 30 seconds. During this time the IDC can be disabled to avoid an unwanted alarm.

When you press Walk Test:

FireShield Technical Reference Manual

1.5

System overview and operation

The IDC you are testing behaves as follows: For alarm events, the appropriate panel, FSRSI, and FSRZI-A LEDs and buzzers are turned on In the audible test mode the notification appliances sound for a number of times equal to the zone number (e.g. three rings for zone three) After activation, the panel resets the IDC. This will take eight seconds. During the reset period, the IDC trouble LED fast-flashes. If the device being tested is not restored, the IDC does not reset. If the device is restored (no alarm is present) the panel is ready to test another device or detector. If auxiliary power is programmed as resettable, the auxiliary power is deactivated while the zone is reset Input zones programmed as waterflow with retard require 10 to 15 seconds of activation to initiate the test signals For trouble events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers are turned on. In the audible (NAC) test mode a onesecond pulse sounds on the audible devices. After sounding, the zone resets in preparation for continued testing. For ground fault events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers are turned on. In the audible (NAC) test mode a one-second pulse sounds on the audible devices. After sounding, the zone resets in preparation for continued testing.

Installing the Remote Relay Module


The Remote Relay Module (FSRRM) provides five dry contact relay outputs. The outputs can be wired as both normally open and normally closed. The outputs can be set to common or zone notifications (see the Command options table below). Installing the appropriate jumper (JP3 - JP5) configures the dry contact relay output options. Five diagnostic LEDs provide visual indication of the status of each relay. If the LED is lit, the relay is energized. If the LED is off, the relay is de-energized. If configured for common operation the trouble relay and the power relay will be energized when the system is normal.
Note: You must run the Find Annunciators program option

Installing the FSDACT


The FSDACT is a digital alarm communicator transmitter (DACT) that transmits panel events to a compatible digital alarm communicator receiver (DACR). Messages are transmitted over standard loop-start telephone lines. The dialer is capable of split reporting to two different account and telephone numbers. In addition to the DACT functions, this module includes: An alphanumeric LCD to display system messages and programming prompts An event history log of panel and DACT events, viewable through compatible software A modem for uploading and downloading panel configuration, history, and current status to a PC running compatible software

changes shall be 100 percent tested. In addition, 10 percent of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, also shall be tested, and correct system operation shall be verified. A revised record of completion in accordance with 1-6.2.1 shall be prepared to reflect any changes. For additional download security, the FSDACT can be programmed to perform a call back function. This call back option applies whether the FSDACT is configured for attended or unattended downloading.

Note: The FSDACT modem is only rated for 2400 baud

communication. Some PC modems may not be compatible with this baud rate. The FSDACT can be programmed to operate as a single or dual line DACT/Modem/LCD display, a Modem/LCD display, or an LCD display only. For the FSDACT to be NFPA 72 CS compliant, the following is required: 1. 2. 3. 4. The factory installed warning label must be removed from the FSDACT's line two phone jack. A second phone line, independent of that used for line one must be connected to phone jack two. The FSDACT must be programmed for dual line operation. The FSDACT must be programmed for a daily transmission test frequency.

Specifications
Current requirements Standby: 40 mA Alarm: 60 mA Operating environment Temperature: 32 to 120 F (0 to 49 C) Humidity: 93% RH, noncondensing Phone line type: one or two loop-start lines on a public, switched network Phone line connector: RJ31/38X (C31/38X).

UL 864 compliance requires the dual line setting. The FSDACT can be configured for attended or unattended downloading. JP1 is a wire loop (located near the top of the FSDACT) that controls which download method is used. Leaving the JP1 wire loop intact configures the FSDACT for attended downloading. The panel will not allow changes to the panel or dialer configuration unless the program jumper is inserted. It will allow changes to receiver information (account code, telephone numbers, etc.). UL requires the red wire loop to be intact for all remote station systems. Cutting the JP1 wire loop configures the FSDACT for unattended downloading. This means that the program jumper need not be inserted to accept any panel or dialer configuration changes. NFPA 72 1999 edition states in 7-1.6.2.1 that reacceptance testing shall be performed after any change to site-specific software. "All components, circuits, systems operations, or site-specific software functions known to be affected by the change or identified by a means that indicates the system operational

Waterflow

Waterflow (no retard): For connection of both vane type and pressure flow switches. Activations are immediately considered as alarms. NACs activated by waterflow IDCs can not be silenced until activated devices restore to normal (panel reset not required). Circuit can not be restored until devices are restored to normal and panel is reset. Waterflow (retard) / supervisory (latching): Special IDC that allows connection of both waterflow and supervisory devices on the same 2wire circuit. Requires the use of two resistors (3.6 k and 1.1 k). The waterflow portion of the circuit functions the same as IDC Type 3 Waterflow (retard) and the supervisory portion functions the same as IDC Type 7 Supervisory (latching). Waterflow (no retard) / supervisory (latching): Special IDC that allows the connection of both waterflow and supervisory devices on the same 2wire circuit. Requires the use of two resistors (3.6 k and 1.1 k). See Waterflow (no retard) and Supervisory (latching) settings for additional information. Supervisory (latching): For the connection of supervisory devices. Momentary activation of normally open devices immediately places the panel in a supervisory state and turns on supervisory LEDs and relays. Circuit can not be restored until devices are restored to normal and panel is reset. Monitor: Monitoring of normally open switches for other functions (fire door position, etc.). Not approved for use under ULC 527 in Canada.

Canadian tests for grounds, opens, and shorts


ULC requires that you test ground fault, open circuit, and short circuit indications. For ground fault tests, directly short one leg of the circuit to chassis ground. The Ground Fault and Trouble LEDs must light.

Maintenance

Preventive maintenance
Before commencing testing, notify all areas where the alarm sounds and off-premises locations that receive alarm and trouble transmissions that testing is in progress. Records of all testing and maintenance shall be kept as required by the authority having jurisdiction. Required tools: -Slotted screwdriver, insulated -Digital multimeter -1.1 k, 1 W resistor -12 in (30.5 cm) jumper lead with alligator clips -Panel door key -Sound level meter A complete check of installed field wiring and devices should be made at regular intervals in accordance with NFPA 72, Canadian Electrical Code Part I, ULC S524, and S536 requirements. This includes testing all alarm and supervisory initiating devices and circuits and any off-premises connections. Panel operation should be verified in the alarm, supervisory, and trouble modes. To ensure that the panel can be powered when primary power is lost, the batteries should be periodically inspected, tested, and replaced (at a minimum) every four years.

For NAC and IDC open circuit tests, remove the EOL resistor from the last device on the circuit. The Trouble LED must light. For NAC short circuit testing, place a short across each NAC output individually. The individual NAC LED must light as well as the common LED. For AUX power short circuit testing, place a short across the +24 V and -24 V at the panel. The common trouble LED must light. For communications testing, place a short across C+ and C-. The annunciator trouble LED must light.

Preventive maintenance schedule


Refer to NFPA 72, Chapter 7 Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance, Canadian Electrical Code Part I, ULCS524, or ULCS536 for more information on required inspection and testing methods and frequency of fire alarm systems and devices. For detector sensitivity and functionality testing, refer to the detector manufacturer's installation instructions.
